Episode 12: Rats stole my sausage!
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Episode 12 of Two Schooners was done in just two takes. Yes folks for the first time in eleven episodes we scrapped the first show and did it all again! That’s dedication for you.
The second take, fueled by even more beer, was vastly superior much like the Barefoot Radler that fills our gullets. A bumper bag, in part thanks to our listeners stacked with all manner of quaint foibles, stubborn stupidities, and downright foolishness, informs today’s show. You will find full details of the goodies we cover in today’s show further down in the show notes.

Couple things about Ryanair I thought I would mention from BBC News…
“Ryanair has confirmed it plans to close all of its airport check-in desks by the end of the year in a bid to reduce the cost of its flights.”
So by the end of 2009, you must check in for your flight via the Internet and then drop your bag at the self-check bag counter (which I believe they charge you extra for).
Also, “Irish budget airline Ryanair has said it is considering charging passengers for using the toilet while flying.”

They’re actually thinking about putting a coin slot on the loo! I can see it now… people refilling their water bottles.
What’s next? An extra charge for a seat? Another for oxygen?
“Will that be pressurized cabin or non-pressurized?”
Also, it’s unfortunate that I cannot mail beer to Aus. It would probably take a month to get there and there’s no guarantee it would arrive in one piece… I could FedEx some, but I think the cost would be more than I’d be willing to pay–it would probably be cheaper for me to fly there myself! One of these days I’ll get down there, and then I expect the royal treatment…
And now it’s 2am and you’ve kept me up past my bedtime listening! Buggers!

Ryanair used to be fantastic. They really shook up the market in the UK about 10 years ago. Sadly they’ve gone downhill, and I would never use them now. Full service airlines like BA and Air Lingus are much the same price once you pay for your checkin, the $25 sandwich and the $10 can of coke, and more friendly.
If you want real beer try Nelson’s Revenge. Doubt you can get it in Aus though. In fact I don’t think you can get it outside of Norfolk (the county Nelson was born in)/ Ha. I’m going to the UK in July so I’ll drink a couple of schooies for you! Well, pints.
Meanwhile you’ll have to make do with a bunch of substandard (they only awarded silver as none were good enough for gold medals) beers from the recent Sydney Beer awards: http://www.bestrestaurants.com.au/News/news.aspx?newsId=1070

OK, sorry.
But if you want a sponsor, beerstore.com.au would be ideal.
You CAN get Spitfire, and also Bishop’s Finger which are quite pleasant – both from Kent, where I grew up.

The nick name for Bishops Finger is “Nuns Delight”
Which I always thought was freaking funny.

Hey! That Australian beer store has the good stuff! Guinness Foreign Export although they can’t seem to spell it right even when they have a photo of the bottle right beside the page title.
And they have Kilkenny, Magners and Murphys. They have Belhaven Scottish Ale and McEwan’s Export Scottish Ale, which might give you an idea of what a Scottish Ale tastes like, as well as Boddington’s, and Newcastle Brown. St. Peter’s Organic Best Bitter isn’t bad, but not my fav, neat bottles though. Tennents Lager is a staple over in England too.
I don’t imagine you’re allowed to mix-and-match in your bottle shops like I’m able to over here. I can buy a 12-pack and get 12 different beers in it if I want to.

Dave well done on trying the Little Creatures Pale Ale but you really owe it to yourself to try their “Bright Ale” and their Rogers. The good news is that if the local bottle o gets one in they should be able to get the rest
